JarJackets Silicone Sleeves Insulate & Protect your Mason Jars
Prepping several meals in advance each week puts you on the fast track to a healthy diet, because eating those meals then becomes as easy as a ready meal, quicker than a takeaway, and healthier and cheaper than both. Reusing your mason jars for your daily breakfast and lunch is a great eco-friendly way to get on that healthy track.
Knowing where to start can often be the hardest part, so we compiled some easy ways to get started. You'll find easy recipes, our JarJackets meal prep kit and some key tips for how to prepare your meals to keep them tasting great so you look forward to your meals each week.
On their own, mason jars are a durable, versatile container. Perfect for keeping food fresh and drinks and soups warm or cold. Buy a case at the grocery store and you'll be excited at all the uses you find. If you want to start using mason jars for meal prepping, there are some accessories that you want to consider. JarJackets mason jar silicone sleeves are a perfect way to protect your jars when on-the-go. They fit snuggly on your jar, they are extra grippy for when the glass can be cold and slippery. Glass is a good insulator, but adding the silicone will keep the temperature for what's inside much better. Coffee stays hot, salads stay nice and cool.

"We are an active sports family and eat on the go at the kids games a lot. I love being able to pack salads and snacks in mason jars and these sleeves fit into our routine and lifestyle amazingly. I like the protection they offer and I like that they make it easy for my kids (and me!) to hold on to the jars. I have them in several colors and that comes in handy too- color coded per family member!"

"Amazing! They fit perfectly on my 24oz wide mouth jars! It’s easiest to put them upside down and slide the jacket onto the jar, then use the palm of your hand to slightly push on the bottom to seal the jacket to the jar (this means no pulling on the design cutouts so you won’t rip them). When removing I found it easiest to do it with the jar upside down and sliding the cover off instead of pulling it off from the bottom. That way you won't rip them. The colors are stunning and I get lots of compliments!"

"I use my mason jars for everything; smoothies, coffee, leftovers, packed lunches. These jar jackets are good thermal regulators and keep your fingers from getting too hot or cold. They also keep the jars from clanking together in the fridge, freezer, or lunch sack. I leave them on the jars and they go through the dishwasher just fine."
